An Unguarded Admission.
Boston Herald.

Mr., John Sherman incautiously
lets out the truth as it rests in his
mind and in that of every other rea-
sonable man on what regulates the
wages of the country when he says
in his Springfield speech: "There
are some things the laws cannot do"
They cannot regulate the price of
labor or anything else. This can only
be done by the law of supply and
demand" Yet this admission over
throws the whole argument with
which protectionists have made their
appeal to the working man of late
years. Mr.. Sherman evidently forgot
himself here, for it is in the role of all
high protectionists to deny this posi-
ton as plain in fact as is the multi
plication table itself.

How would it do to take the fiery

been hurting his venom at Gen. Sher-

futile, who insists upon insulting the

field to fight it out and save the
country? The country might lose
both of them without endangering

They are widely known, how
ever, for their strict honor and
probity in business.
The Shakers believe that ma
ture has aremedy for every dis
ease. A few have been found
the rest are as yet unknown.
Many were discovered by acct
dent. Others came to light as
the result of patient experiment
and research.
Nervous Dyspepsia IS a CON-
paratively meaO disease, growing
out of the conditions of modern
life. It is a joint affection of
the digestive organs and of the
nervous system. These two
were formerly treated as sepa-
rate ailments, and it was left
for the clear-sighted Shakers
to prove that the basis of this
terrible and often fatal compli-
cation lies chiefly in the disord-
cred and depraved functions of
digestion and nutrition. They
reasoned thus:-"If we can In
duce the stomach to do its
work, and stimulate the excre-
tive organs to drive out of the
body the poisonous waste mat
tiers which remain after the life
giving elements of the food
have been absorbed, we shall
have conquered Nervous Dys-
pepsia and Nervous Exhaust
ion. And they were right.
Knowing the infallible power
of Shaker Extract (Seigel's
Syrup in less complicated
though similar diseases,
they resolved to test it fully
in this. To leave no ground
for doubt they prescribed the
remedy in hundreds of cases
which had been pronounced in
curable-with perfect success
in every instance where their
directions as to living and diet
were scrlpulously followed
Nervous Dyspepsia and Elk

can disease. To a greater or
less extent half the people of
this country suffer from it,
both sexes and all ages. In no
country in the world are there
so many insane asylums filed
to overaowing, all resulting
from this alarming disease. Its
leading symptoms are these:
Frequent or continual head
ache; a dull pain at the base
of the brain; bad breath; nau-
seous quotations; the rising
Of sour and pungent fluids to
the throat; sense of Cypress

the stomach; flatulence; wake
fulness and loss of sleep; dis
gust with food even when

An Investigation of the case of the
three "crooks" arrested at Kent On
the evening of the G. A. r, meeting in
that place. charged with robbIng a
man on the cars, was held on Friday
last before Probate Judge Reed, to de-
termine whether there was sufficient
evidence to warrant holding the men
until the September term of Common
Pleas. The man who claimed to have
been robbed, and upon whose state
ment the arrest was made having
disappeared, it was charged that there
was no evidence that a crime was com.
mitted., After listening to the testi.
mony ef the train men and Kent Of
ficers, and the arguments of the sttor-
neys, Judge Reed decided to hold the
prisoners until August lat, to allow
the prosecution time to hunt Hp the
important prosecuting witness, and in
default of 81 900 bail each, they were
remanded to Jail. Messrs. Maxson and
hiddall represented the State and G..
B. Newton, ESQ.,, of Kent, and Sam'l
Eddy, of Cleveland, were retained by
the accused. We understand the pris.
eners, while they do not claim that
the business in which they are engag-
ed is strictly legitimate, they do claim
that they are not pickpockets and are
not guilty of the crime charged. A
friend came forward with 81 900 on
Saturday morning and one of the
prisoners was allowed to depart.

Joe GOfdsoll, turnk ~ of the Cuya.
hoga county Jail, ON being asked how
long the Hulligan murderers would
remain in Cleveland, aired himself as
follows:
"Over Sunday at all events, and
perhaps later. The sheriff of Portage
county telegraphed here this afternoon
that tbs Ravenna Jail is strong enough
to hold the gang, but if not strong
guard will be provided down there and
patrol the jail. We will take care of
'em all right here, but amt saying
word as to what will become of them
after they get down to that cross roads
town of Ravenna."
Now we are not able to state wheth-
er Mr.. Goldsoll occupied his present
honorable position at the time, but it
occurs to Us that prisoners have made
their escape from the Cuyahoga county
jail-even an old woman. Mollie Hoey,
slid through the bars of that institu-
ton, and is still lost to the sight of it's
yigiiant oficers-and in one instance,
at least, prisoner who broke from
the massive and magnificently con,
structed institution of Cuyshogs Co.,
was safely held and delivered at
Columbus from the miserable /bastile
in "that cross roads town of Ravenna."
In regard to the comfort, healthful
atmosphere and convenience of our
Jail, we have little to say in its favor,
and have no doubt that man con-
fined therein on charge of murder
would look longingly forward to the
day of his execution as relief, but
we will say for the benefit of Turnkey
GOldsoll ct al, that the prisoners who
are placed in charge Of Mr.. Sheldon
will be found. when wanted, at "that
cross roads town of Ravenna."

The Fur Robbers.

The men captured at Alpena. Mich,
prove to be the notorious Blinkey"
Morgan, William Harrington and
John Coughlin, for whom the police
and detectivds of the country have
searched constantly since they dissp-
peared so suddenly and mysteriously
on the morning of the rescue of their
pal, McMunn, from the hands of the
officers, at this place, on the morning
of February 4th, the particulars or
which are doubtless familiar to all of
our readers. AS we stated last week
Capt. Hoehn and Detective Reeves
started for Alpena before the news OF
the arrest reached Cleveland. One
look at the prisoners wa, sufficient to
satisfy Capt. Hoehn that three of the
gang'' were at last in the hands of
the officers of the law, and they were
taken under strong guard and chain
cd together, from Alpena to Detroit
and thence to Cleveland, where they
were placed in Jail. Morgan does not
deny that he is the notorious "Blinky"
but says he had nothing to do with
the fur robbery or the subsequent res
cue at Ravenna. Harrington gave the
name of Robinson, but Capt. Hoehn
is positive that he is the man who
used the coupling pin with such muir
derous effect. The third prisoner, John
Coughlin, he is certain is the man who
rode in the car with the officers and
their prisoner on that memorable Oc-
casion, but. although he was well
known in Cleveland police circles, he
had not been suspected of being one
of the parties wanted until the arrest.
The prisoners have been in hiding
for some time past at the house of
Coughlin' sister, Mrs. Williams, Of
Alpena, and their actions aroused the
suspicious of the Alpena officers, who
placed watch upon their movements
and telegraphed Supt, Schmitt, to send
q man who could identify them The
Cleveland force. having followed up
80 many similar clues which had
come to nothing, were little slow to
believe there was anything in this,
as it did from country sheriff.
Sheriff Lynch and his deputies, find
ing the men were preparing to leave
determined to make the arrest
upon their own account. Deputy Dem
ton arrested Harrington and Coughlin
just as they were about to take the
boat. and placed them in the jail, with
out resistance. Sheriff Lynch, in at
to arrest Morgan was quite
injured by shot In the leg,
put finally succeeded in bringing his
man to terms. About this time the
Cleveland officers began to think the
light men had been found and tele.
,raphed Sheriff Lynch to make the !
.rrest at all hazards.
Since the arrival of the gang in
great deal has been said a
bout bringing them to the Ravenna
all, to await their trial in the Common
Pleas Court of this county, and it is
understood that Sheriff Shell :
on will take charge of the notorious
thugs" within few days.
The other two members of the gang
1cMunn and Hanley, are still at large Q
nd the detectives are as much at sea
4 regard to them as ever, but will A
ontinue the search with renewed .
ourage.
LATER-The prisoners were brought
, Ravenna and placed in the Jail on
uesday evening.
